Robotic Geophysical Mapping

GEM Systems is collaborating with Carleton University on a 6 month project to demonstrate that the Canadian Kapvik space exploration rover can be used to make geomagnetic measurements. The goal of the project will be to demonstrate that that the two (2) technologies (magnetometer and rover) can work together. It is anticipated that the development of a custom-made boom for the rover will be required to overcome the magnetic interference of Kapvik.

Through the project GEM Systems will demonstrate that its UAV Magnetometer sensor is lightweight and versatile enough to be used on a high tech rover, in addition to a variety of platforms that include UAV’s and other robotic vehicles.
